I think there is a high possibility that Bessie "Bluma" Pleskoff and her father, Azrael Tolchinsky "Tuczynsky', are descendants of the Potocki Family, a noble family of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, specifically the Gałąź tulczyńska, or the Branch of Tulczyn.

Tulczyn, today known as Tulchyn, is located in Ukraine, somewhat close to the Moldovan border, and it is a twenty-four-hour walk from Tetiiv, where Bessie was born. Seeing as how infrastructure 150 years ago in eastern Europe was nothing close to what we have today, I estimated that in 1863, when Bessie was born, the walk would have probably taken at least three to four days, if not more.

If this theory turns out to be true, then the Plaskoffs and all other descendants of Morris "Moishe" Pleskoff would be descendants of one of Eastern Europe's most influential noble families, which produced such figures as Alfred Józef Potocki and Andrzej Potocki.
